The Pathways Nurse-Led Virtual clinic service connects a registered nurse with patient organisations to provide support in accessing services, particularly for communities with rare, genetic and complex conditions.

 

The program was developed by the Centre for Community-Driven Response (CCDR).

 

The Pathways model builds on the trusted relationship patient organisations have with their communities. When families reach out for help, this model ensures there is a skilled registered nurse who understands their condition available to them.

 

This is an access model of care that takes a holistic approach, and aims to make the best use of the services available. It is a national service, accessible to anyone regardless of where they live.

 

We are pleased to offer this service free of charge, made possible through grant funding through the Rotary Club of Dalkeith and LaTrobe Health which covers the core infrastructure for the program. The service itself is made possible through the generous volunteer Pathways nurses that provide their time and service through the Pathways Nurse-Led Virtual clinic.

  

This listing for the Pathways Nurse-led Virtual Clinic was initiated by Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics to assist community awareness. Its inclusion should not be interpreted as endorsement, affiliation, or partnership with any other services featured on this website. Pathways nurses provide referrals only when clinically relevant and based solely on the individual’s health needs. Referrals are impartial and do not indicate any preference, affiliation, or endorsement of specific providers or services.

 

CCDR engages Pathways nurses who adhere to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s Code of Conduct and Registered Nurse Standards for Practice. Nurses provide services within the Registered Nurse scope of practice.
